Assuring top quality is paramount in producing awesome software. Test driven development plays a key role in this process. Liferay’s tooling and integration with standard test frameworks support test driven development and help you reach quality milestones. Here are the ways Liferay facilitates testing:
- Unit testing: Using JUnit to unit test Liferay DXP modules in Gradle and Maven build environments and in IDEs that have JUnit plugins is seamless.
- Integration testing:
The
Arquillian Extension for Liferay
lets you spin up a Liferay DXP instance, deploy modules whose components
provide and consume services, and exercise their APIs.
Liferay’s
@Injectannotation allows you to inject service instances into tests. - Functional testing: Selenium and the Arquillian Extension for Liferay support functional UI testing.
- Code Coverage: JaCoCo analyzes and reports test code coverage.
- Slim Runtime: Liferay Slim Runtime facilitates testing modules (including Service Builder modules) in a fast, lightweight environment.
Unit testing is the first step in test driven development.
